Timer set, only 351 days 17 hours 4 minutes and 32 seconds till start Pffffffff thats a long wait. But worth it.

Just a heads up - if you're thinking of booking with an agent you might want to bang in a pre-order on tickets.

Just spoke to Travel Destinations. Their partner company (who look after just the tickets - not travel) have already sold out of their Houx allocation. Basically I had to add a ferry crossing if I wanted to get on Houx (Travel Destinations themselves have a larger allocation).

if i was to pre-order, when does one normally have to cough up the funds?

It's normally the back end of the year once the ACO confirm the various ticket prices.

Renault Mėgane's back seat was comfy enough to sleep. Though strangely headrests always resonated when one puts the pit speed limiter on.

Victor_RO · 27 Jun 2014, 14:08 (Ref:3427160)

Gave the TD folks a call myself, pre-booked camping at Tertre Rouge for a group of 4-5 people. If I don't manage to rustle up enough people from around here, I'd be willing to host any stragglers.

**bella** · 27 Jun 2014, 15:15 (Ref:3427181)

i think camp fangirl found its spiritual home this year on tr. pre-booking duly underway.

GT6 · 27 Jun 2014, 15:55 (Ref:3427195)

Hey you lot leave some for me, Nadine only takes bookings in October, TR will be full up at this rate.

Mal · 28 Jun 2014, 05:01 (Ref:3427373)

I have pre booked spaces on Houx for next year and it looks like we will have a big group as I have already confirmed over 30 from my regular group.

ascarracinguk · 24 Jul 2014, 11:27 (Ref:3437263)

HA! well ive just launched the surprise at mum, we will be heading to le mans for the first time as my mums retirement present....motorhome is booked, tickets and camping reserved....now just the wait to get the ferry booked....

...its going to be a hectic couple of weeks, im racing myself the weekend before le mans, get home, get the car prepped, head out to le mans on Tuesday, watch the race, get back then get everything sorted for me racing the next weekend....

....can a 2 week holiday get any better than a drag racing/ le mans sandwich?!.....my other half DOES NOT approve lol!

isynge · 24 Jul 2014, 13:02 (Ref:3437281)

Pre-booking form for 2015 has just arrived from 1st Tickets. While it goes more or less without saying that I'll be making the trip, and again going for Tertre Rouge as a campsite, I'm wondering if Dunlop is still the grandstand of choice or if it's worth considering something else - I have a theory that Panorama might be good - anyone had any experience of it?

**bella** · 24 Jul 2014, 13:22 (Ref:3437289)

yes, a friend of mine scored tickets this year from ebay and was very very impressed. he really enjoyed the view and not just at the start. i can ask him for a more detailed review if you want?

i've filed my request with 1st tickets too. this is it, isn't it? there's no escaping now

Detailed review always appreciated but in all honesty I suspect it's enough to make me give it a go and see what happens.

Suspect you might now have to chalk yourself up as being a little bit addicted - but was that ever seriously in doubt?

**bella** · 24 Jul 2014, 16:18 (Ref:3437359)

i think the consensus was that it was very very much worth going for seats, and the hype was by and large justified. i'll ask for an official opinion this evening

yeah, you're right. it wasn't ever really in question

this year i've learnt that you can be in the pits, in the stands, wherever, as long as you're not on the couch at home. you can't say "once you do hospitality or the pits you never go back" because it's all just different ways of doing things. no one is better than the other. except tertre rouge. ian, that's your fault

mind you, easy to say that when it's a dry, warm year isn't it?

Tertre Rouge is still very enjoyable when it's cold and wet! If anything it tends to lead to a happy degree of sociability and shared adversity, and obviously the location is still just as fabulous...

I suspect we wouldn't all be posting in this thread if we weren't. Okay, apart from a few trouble-stirrers...

Yeah, but Simon is OK when he's sober........

**bella** · 24 Jul 2014, 20:41 (Ref:3437459)

following consultation with the panorama occupier, he can absolutely recommend it, but says the only downside is that it's a bit of a walk from the main drag, but given the campsite location that's a bit of a moot point.

i'm not hooked, i can quit at any time. i just don't want to.

(honest

)

Thank you for that Andrew, 2014 was a much more sober year for me due to the fact that i had no driver for the car. Plans for next year must include finding a new teetotal driver,

vincegail · 25 Jul 2014, 11:20 (Ref:3437668)

Count me out!

GT6 · 25 Jul 2014, 11:38 (Ref:3437674)

Not sure how "teetotal" translates into dutch but you certainly do not qualify Vince

vincegail · 25 Jul 2014, 11:53 (Ref:3437679)

"Geheelonthouder"

Geheel = Total
Onthouder = Abstainer

And no I wouldn't (nor want to) qualify

**Aysedasi** · 26 Jul 2014, 07:19 (Ref:3438084)

Sad to say it, but I'm pretty close to that these days.......

GT6 · 26 Jul 2014, 08:18 (Ref:3438102)

I do sometimes go for fair periods with out alcohol, but could not give it up completely
i like a good cup of tea or coffee but there is a limit to the amount of diet cola/lemonade you can drink before you start to wonder why you are drinking things you do not really want to
